Kursbeskrivning: Fundamentals of Cloud Computing (Self-Paced)

NOTE: THIS IS AN ONLINE SELF-PACED VIRTUAL COURSE. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THIS COURSE.

Self-paced virtual courses provide the same deep technical content as our classroom courses, but allow you to learn on your own schedule. You can stop and start a Self-Paced Virtual class as needed during the 60-day access period.

There is no live instructor for this course, so it may not be appropriate for you to who require the guidance of a live instructor. In such cases, you should consider the alternative versions of this course:

• Classroom delivery: Fundamentals of Cloud Computing (WS009)
• Instructor-led online delivery: Fundamentals of Cloud Computing (Remote Classroom) (VS009)

This 1-day, instructor-led course is designed to teach you the basic concepts and terminology of cloud computing.

After establishing the definition of cloud computing, this course describes the various service delivery models of a cloud computing architecture, and the ways in which clouds can be deployed as public, private, hybrid, and community clouds. You will also learn about the security challenges that cloud deployments experience, and how these are addressed. The course also describes IBM cloud computing architecture and offerings, the IBM WebSphere CloudBurst appliance, and the IBM WebSphere Hypervisor edition software product.

A number of self-running and hands-on demonstrations in simulation mode enable you to experience how to sign onto and use cloud-based instances. The hands-on demonstrations include applying for a contract to use the IBM Smart Business Development and Test Cloud. signing onto the IBM Smart Business Development and Test Cloud, and creating an instance of the cloud and connecting to it. Other self-running demonstrations focus on getting started with cloud computing using the IBM WebSphere CloudBurst appliance. In the final exercise, you will complete a crossword puzzle on what they have learned.
